Real-world assets valued at $500 million will be tokenized by Plume and Mercado Bitcoin, a move expected to boost the adoption of Realized Wrap Assets (RWA) throughout Latin America.
In a groundbreaking development, Plume and Mercado Bitcoin have made significant strides in tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) in Latin America, surpassing their initial 24-month goal of tokenizing $40 million in just four months. The partnership between these two trailblazers sets ambitious targets to expand their tokenized asset portfolios to half a billion dollars over the coming years.
Plume, a full-stack blockchain ecosystem dedicated to real-world asset finance, and Mercado Bitcoin, Latin America's leading digital asset investment platform, are leveraging blockchain technology to open new channels for investment and growth in the region. This collaboration underscores a strong push to bring blockchain-based capital markets and institutional-grade financial products to Latin America, addressing the demand for transparent and efficient capital access in the region.
The tokenized portfolio primarily includes private credit instruments such as asset-backed securities, consumer credit, corporate debt, and accounts receivable, enabling access for global investors and expanding financial inclusion in emerging markets. The partnership reflects the rising demand for blockchain-based private credit and RWA investment opportunities in Latin America.
Chris Yin, CEO of Plume, stated that the quick achievement of the $40 million milestone validates the market's readiness for RWAs on-chain at scale. Fabricio Tota, vice president of business development of Mercado Bitcoin, expressed belief in tokenization as a tool for inclusion and unlocking growth pathways for the region's financial ecosystem.
Mercado Bitcoin, which has been audited since 2018 by KPMG, one of the world's largest auditing firms, operates with over 4 million clients over 12 years. The company has been at the forefront of tokenizing RWAs to create new forms of access and liquidity for small- and medium-sized businesses in Brazil and for global and local investors.
Plume's EVM-compatible infrastructure simplifies the integration of real-world assets into DeFi applications, enabling interaction with global financial markets through intuitive, on-chain tools. The projects aim to reach $500 million in tokenized RWAs.
As the partnership continues to gather momentum, it is attracting attention from institutional investors and blockchain market participants. Plume is actively contributing to industry discussions on regulatory standards and infrastructure. The collaboration is part of a broader trend where stablecoins and blockchain-based financial instruments are increasingly important in Latin America’s crypto markets, providing hedges against inflation and currency volatility.
